\index{…} causes space
by Andreas Harder 25 Dec '10

25 Dec '10

Hi all, is it possible to make \index{…} more robust, so that one could set a space between command an followed word? \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] test test\vl \crlf test \index{test}test\vl \crlf % OK test \index{test} test\vl % not OK \stopTEXpage But more important, even if there isn’t a space, the \index-command spoils the output. \setuplayout[width=middle,backspace=40mm] \starttext \showframe[text][text] \dorecurse{100}{test } \blank \dorecurse{100}{\index{test}test } \stoptext I hope this can be fixed soon … Greeting Andreas

using font from a specified location
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

Dear list, I have a bunch of fonts at some location (../myfonts/) relative to TeX files (for example ../myfonts/myfontA.otf). What is the best way to access them in MKIV? The best option might be to specify something equivalent to "export TEXINPUTS=../myfonts", but I don't know what exactly I have to use. (A command like \addtotexinputs or \addtosearchpath[../myfonts].) Alternatively \definefontsynonym[a][file:../myfonts/myfontA.otf] would also be acceptable, though I find it a bit ugly. Thanks a lot, Mojca

\note and \footnote
by Jon Crump 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

All, Something elementary, I'm sure, that I'm not understanding. I'm trying to achieve parallel footnotes in arab/english texts, ie. each footnote in the Arabic text has a corresponding footnote in the English text. Both should point to the same footnote text. Like this: <body> <text> <div type='arText'> <lb /> some arab <ref target="#N01">text</ref> <lb /> more arab <ref target="#N02">text</ref> </div> <div type='enText'> <lb /> some english <ref target="#N01">text</ref> <lb /> more english <ref target="#N02">text</ref> </div> <div type='fnotes'> <note xml:id="N01">text for note ONE</note> <note xml:id="N02">text for note TWO</note> </div> </text> </body> I thought to use TeX's \note[ref], but the following doesn't seem to work. \startxmlsetups xml:ref \define\thisRefName{\xmlatt{#1}{target}} \xmldoifelse{#1}{parent::div[@type='arText']} {\footnote[\thisRefName]{\xmlfirst{#1}{root::/body/text/div[@type='fnotes']/note[@xml:id==string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{target}',2)]}}} {\note[\thisRefName]} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:div:fnotes \placefootnotes \stopxmlsetups I just get ?? for the reference markers in the English text. Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong; or, is there a better way altogether to approach this? Jon

Augmented Matrix
by Paul Dostert 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

I'm trying to make a simple Augmented matrix using \startmathmatrix and cannot seem to get \VL working correctly. I'd assume to do an augmented matrix I'd do: \startformula \left[ \startmathmatrix[n=4] 1 \NC 1 \NC 1 \VL 1\NR 0 \NC 1 \NC -1 \VL 2\NR 0 \NC 0 \NC 2 \VL 8 \stopmathmatrix \right] \stopformula but I get an undefined control sequence. If it were LaTex, I'd do: $$ \left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1\\ 0 & 1 & -1 & 2\\ 0 & 0 & 2 & 8 \end{array} \right] $$ Any suggestions? Thanks

Table resolution too low
by Tom 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

I just created a PDF of a bookblock by using MKII to produce the .ps file and Adobe Acrobat to create the PDF from it. When preflighting the PDF, all the photos were found to be 300dpi or greater but the table created by the following code was flagged at being only 150ppi. I don't see this as a problem but is there a way to cause it to be 300dpi or greater to eliminate the warning? \placetable[here,force]{none} {\starttable[|l|l|l|] \HL \VL \bf Player* \VL \bf Position \VL \bf Year Inducted \VL\SR \HL \VL Albert Exendine \VL End \VL 1970 \VL\SR \HL \VL Joe Guyon \VL Halfback/Tackle \VL 1971 \VL\SR \HL \VL James Johnson \VL Quarterback \VL 1969 \VL\SR \HL \VL Ed Rogers \VL End \VL 1968 \VL\SR \HL \VL Jim Thorpe \VL Halfback \VL 1951\dagger \VL\SR \HL \VL Gus Welch \VL Quarterback \VL 1975 \VL\SR \HL \VL Glenn S. {\quotation Pop} Warner \VL Coach \VL 1951\dagger \VL\SR \HL \stoptable}} Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

problems with \hbox inside lua
by Mojca Miklavec 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Dear list, I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong here. If I remove \hbox, it works fine, but I would like to draw a table. \starttext \startluacode function draw_table(unicode_start,n_columns) for i=0,0xF do tex.print('\\dontleavehmode\\definedfont[Serif at 20pt]\\kern0pt') for j=0,n_columns do --tex.print('\\hbox{ \\char %d }', unicode_start+i*16+j) tex.print('\\hbox to 1.5em{\\hss %s \\hss}', unicode.utf8.char(unicode_start+i*16+j)) end tex.print('\\crlf') end end draw_table(0x00C0,4) \stopluacode \stoptext Any hints welcome. Thanks, Mojca

MikTeX and ConTeXt
by Jonas Stein 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MikTeX "ConTeXt is currently broken (possible to do some tweaking to make it work)" this was from 2008 so i suppose its outdated. Is that already fixed? (i can not test it as i have no windows operating system) Kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

how to ask lua if glyph nr. x exists in current font
by Mojca Miklavec 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hello, I'm trying to decrypt the LuaTeX reference manual. I find it easy enough to read data about different fonts when using fontA = fontloader.open('a.otf') and then glyphs = fontloader.to_table(fontA).glyphs but I'm not able to figure out how to aks the same question about the font that is currently being used (in MKIV). I would like to know if a glyph with some Unicode value is present in the font or not. Thanks for the hints, Mojca

another cld question!
by Thomas A. Schmitz 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Since y'all are playing with cld, here's my little question: how can I write me a language test? Here is what I've been playing with: \mainlanguage[fr] \starttext \startluacode function doit(s) if tex.language == 2 then context("ENGLISH: ") context.currentmainlanguage() context(s) else context("NOT ENGLISH:") context.currentmainlanguage() context(s) end end \stopluacode \define[1]\Test% {\ctxlua{doit("#1")}} \Test{French} \language[en] \Test{English} \stoptext But that doesn't seem quite right...
